Kuttner left his studies at college to work for a literary agent. In 1936, he sold his first story, The Graveyard Rats, to Weird Tales magazine. He was a staunch follower of H. P. Lovecraft and joined the Lovecraft Circle where he met his wife, C. L. Moore. They would go on to collaborate on many stories and novels under various pseudonyms so that, today, it is difficult to ascertain who wrote what. Kuttner's first novel, The Fairy Chessmen, appeared in 1939. Kuttner published the majority of his stories in magazines such as Astounding, Weird Tales, etc, which were aimed primarily at the science-fiction market. He served in World War II and took advantage of the terms of the GI Bill to return to college and work for his Master's at the University of California. He died suddenly of a heart attack when he was only 43. His other works included Dr. Cyclops (1940), Dragon Moon (1940), The Proud Robot (1943), Valley of the Flame (1946), Ex Machina (1948), The Time Axis (1948) and The Well of the World (1952).
